The myth of Dionysus’ drunken revenge - Iseult Gillespie

2025 • E77    Sep 23, 2025    6m
Acoetes of Maeonia had been roped into serving as the navigator for a band of pirates. And now the pirates had kidnapped a sleeping youth. As they laid their victim’s body on the ship, Acoetes felt the pit in his stomach deepen. The pirates hadn’t noticed, but their new captive was a slumbering god. Iseult Gillespie digs into the Greek myth of Dionysus and his return to Thebes.

Lesson by Iseult Gillespie, directed by Keegan Thornhill.
